Jake Paul has changed his tone regarding what he wants in a boxing career. Facing legitimate fighters, regardless of completion level, is a goal for his career now. That is why he will fight Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico on March 2.
The former Disney star and current YouTuber is known for his flashy personality. He has created enemies due to his colorful personality and trying to cause a scene in boxing. His resume has validated detractors since several contests were against former MMA fighters.
However, Paul has recently challenged boxers with experience in fights. He took a big-money fight against Tommy Fury, losing against the half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. In his last fight, he faced Andre August, then on a five-fight win streak. Knocking out August in the first round, the fight didn’t necessarily prove much. It did give Paul something to look forward to as he attempts to show he can fight for gold, regardless of how unbelievable it may seem.
“I have money,” Paul told Sports Illustrated. “I could retire and be an entrepreneur. Camps are lonely and monotonous. I know what I’m up against, but this is what I’m after. It’s practicing long-term gratification. That’s a lost cause in today’s world.

“It’s fun when you’re fighting legends, and everyone is excited. That energy builds. I’m in a different place here. I’m looking for experience. There is definitely a smaller subset of boxing purists who find it really interesting, but these fights are a lot less sexy on paper.”
Bourland has six wins via knockout, winning his last fight via TKO. That last contest was in September 2022. Before that, he last fought in 2018. The 35-year-old is the massive underdog, and “Rhino” looks to defy all the literal and figurative odds against him.
